I have a question about Orville by Gibson Les Pauls. I've heard the lower end LPs are Orville and the high end replicas are Orville by Gibson. My question is this. Should it actually say 'Orville by Gibson' on the headstock? I have only seen one with 'Orville by Gibson' on the headstock and that was a LP Custom clone.

I guess there was a time(LATER PERIOD) where all Orvilles became ORVILLE only( by Gibsons ones-high end became Orville,so there were difficult to tell sight unseen).Orvilles came with a serial number(I guess they all begins by G plus a numbers),there must be the only way for dating.
